These cliches are just annoying to read at this point, everyone has heard this stuff a million times and yet...millions still suffer. If I'm being honest it just comes across as yet another form of bullying when socially well adjusted people say stuff like this to people worse off than them.
- hackable_sand 6mo agoWhat they are saying is true. It just might take a lot of work to get the ball moving.
- dogleash 6mo agoI can agree with you while still agreeing with parent poster that it's basically "git gud"-tier bullying. Very very few orators can successfully pull off "just fix your problems bro" as anything beyond a generic kick in the pants for the people presently predispositioned to be motivated by one.
- justonceokay 6mo agoI regularly bully my close friends into being better people. It just so happens that I fell down the staircase of life much earlier than a lot of people do. I had to do most of my “midlife crisis” thinking in my early 20s because most of my family died and I had to come out as gay without any support. Now that I’m in my 30s I have the joy of helping my friends along on this journey called life. Sometimes people just need a gentle nudge up the staircase. Sometimes they need to be carried against their will
- hackable_sand 6mo agoI'm trying to figure out how to manage a similar situation. It's like your friends wanna party raid but they keep going in with incomplete builds I only got so much patience before I find a new guild
- arowthway 6mo agoI agree it can feel frustrating and inactionable but it's not bullying, it's a thoughtful well-meaning response. Actually if it makes you feel bad it's a signal it may be worth contemplating more.
- svnt 6mo agoIt may be well-meaning, but it is clearly not thoughtful.
- shimman 6mo agoThey aren't saying this tho, they are saying to go to therapy to help solve it.
